The murti holds a trident-like implement in one hand and an upraised hand gesture in another. Behind it stands an ornate gold-toned embossed panel, and the background is a blurred warm orange and red backdrop. The scene appears to be an abhishekam ritual.2011-12-08December 08 20112011-12-08November 10 20112011-11-10December 08 20112011-12-08December 08 20112011-12-08January 08 20122012-01-08Close photo of a golden metal deity murti with a tall crown being anointed.
